(54) | A PORTABLE SHELTER |
(57) The present invention relates to a portable shelter assembly. The assembly includes
a support; and an expandable shelter for being supported by the support and expanding
to shelter at least one person. The shelter includes ribs extending from the support.
Each rib includes one or more proximal elements pivotally mounted to the support.
Each rib further includes a distal element extending from the proximal elements and
configured to move outwardly to expand the shelter when the proximal elements pivot
in a first direction. Advantageously, the distal elements may be simply pulled down
one at a time to lift the connected proximal elements and extend the ribs, which is
advantageous in windy conditions, or pulled down together to lift the proximal elements
and extend the ribs.
